Pyramid in No. Ho. sux badly , be forewarned . I use two , on is Verns in Gardena on El Segundo , the other off the 710 freeway on Imperial Highway ~ is that too far for you ? . FWIW , Verns does outstanding chrome works but it not cheap .
Thanks for the answer Nate Hey Nate, Thanks for getting back to me. That is a good tip about Pyramid. I will make sure I stay clear of them. I live in Santa Clarita so the other ones you mention are a bit far. One I contacted a while back and seems like may be a good option is Powdercoat Industries in Palmdale (www.powdercoatindustries.com) but there are no online reviews or otherwise and I would really rather not learn the hard way. Not sure if you have heard of them? I do remember when I spoke to them a few years ago they seemed like they knew what they were talking about. If I remember right I think they said blasting all body parts including all frame parts plus powder coating the frame would be $1700. I am not sure if that is a good price or a bad price. Any thoughts on that? Steve
Blasting I have no idea on that pricing . It's *very* important you go look at what they're doing to others metal before allowing therm t blast and possibly ruin yours ~ my buddy was estatic over some bead blasting price he got , I knew it was a jerkoff joint from the jump but they sweet talked him and then destroyed pretty much the whole vehicle by using the wrong ( coarsest they had) media instead of the soft media they'd promised . Even frames need gentle blasting if you plan to ever drive it again . If you have *any* doubts or reservations , walk away . Keep asking , go to the various drive ins and show 'n shines the Antelope Valley is chock full of , talk to folks and carry a pad & pencil so you can take notes ~ often knowing who NOT to use is more important .
I have not talked to these folks in some years but it never hrts to give them a call, if they can not maybe they know of someone close to you. 3960 Royal Ave Simi Valley, CA 93063 (805) 520-8075 Contact Us - Powder Coating - Facilities
Thanks Charles and Nate!!! Charles - I will give them a call today and see what they do. Nate - I will start doing a little more talking and not just looking at the car shows I go to.
Car Shows You talk , I'll drool over the sweet rides I always see . Seriously though : I've gotten some really good tips over the years from chatting up the other folks .
